A trio of CREX ES44ACs lead this eastbound BNSF Provo-Denver manifest in the siding at Rollins. The crew only has 23 minutes to get the train stopped before they "die", meaning they run out of time to work. After 12 hours, train crews are required by law to stop their train wherever they are.

Three days ago, on Valentine's Day, this matched set of CitiRail CREX ES44ACs led the BNSF Denver-Provo west. Once at Provo, they were serviced and sent back east to Denver on the Provo-Denver. Here, the train takes the siding at Rollins.

This unit is actually an older CSX unit, but looks mighty good as it just recently received a new paint job in the CSX Dark Future scheme. this is actually a C40-8W, built in the 1980s, and was one of the earlier wide cab units.

Thirty years of GE technology work together as DPUs on the tail end of this eastbound BNSF manifest. BNSF 6797 is a relatively new ES44C4. CSX 7668 is a C40-8W that was built in the late 1980s.

The crew on this eastbound BNSF manifest will have to sit here on their train for about another two hours. The crew went dead (meaning they could no longer work after having been on the clock for 12 hours) just as this shot was being taken. A relief crew is called out of Denver, but won't leave the yard for another 15 minutes.

In order to clear the switch at the west end of Rollins, this eastbound had to pull just past the crossing. Fortunately, the crossing is for the railroad only, so no cars were blocked. The train here will be on the roll again in about two hours, when a relief crew would come to take the train the rest of the way in to yard at Denver.

After getting some shots of a BNSF manifest in the siding at Rollins, I decided to come west to Tolland as I knew the Zephyr was on time and was headed up the hill. While it had been mostly overcast so far that morning, the sun broke through a bit to add some nice light to this shot of #5.
